Even though it is now summer, Orange City, Iowa held its annual Tulip Festival in May and as always, a parade, food, costumes, and many people attending over the three-day event. This year I went the second day of the festival which had a fewer people on a Friday which was nice, and also because I had a class I was teaching Saturday. It was a little different in that the sidewalks were not quite as jammed with visitors. But the pomp and circumstance and hoopla surrounding the community’s celebration was still palpable.

Home in Siouxland

I live in the Siouxland area that encompasses a wide swatch of land in northwest Iowa, northeastern Nebraska and southeastern South Dakota. The people that inhabit this area are generous folk and your basic honest, Midwestern people you like to have as neighbors. I explore the area and share observations, mostly photographic, sometimes through video, and and short text. All images and video are copyrighted material of the author.
